Naach, Gaana and Cricket!!

Ok..so it’s a while since I’ve been here.
Ok no prizes for guessing…A lots been going on ….have literally had no time for breathing.. (I mean not exactly literally!!..anyways.. message is conveyed..so let’s move ahead!)

Ok..apart from my professional engagements which’ve managed to keep me on my toes throughout…yeah..yeah..the Big Blue has managed to colour me totally and completely Blue..and how happily Blue I am…!
Well..well..there’s been a lot on on the personal front…etc. etc.

In the midst of this roller-coaster…have not really missed the ‘events’..first the 20-20 World Cup…WOW..what a win!!
A neo-non-cricket watcher like me ..yeah..I use the term neo..as long long ago..I used to watch the game like all you mere mortals out there. And then went on this trip of indifference in worldly things like this…But, then, can people really change?? Guess not…am back to taking interest in the game and am enjoying it! And How!!
So..there it was the nail-biting finish and the way we clinched the title and then the drama that followed when our Boys came back and then the not so happy series with the Ausies (I’m resisting myself from using the word debacle!!) and then here we are today ready to face the Pakis again!
Phew….that’s been quite a bit of action with the willow!
So..looking forward to a smashing series..and no excuses this time. Let’s just get onto the field and WIN!!

There’ve been some interesting movies as well….quite a few. To name 2 recent ones.. ”Nanhe Jaisalmer” - I bet no one has heard about this one. There was’nt much hype. But, if you’ve got kids at home who insist on turning the house into a Cartoon Network-Pogo-Disney-Hungama entertainment zone..you must’ve caught the ad. So..recently the dvd has come out and we happened to see it. It’s a good movie ..seriously I liked it. Very sensitively and simply made. Go watch it if you want to see some ‘clean’ and ‘simple’ fare. You’ll love it.

And then, ‘Jab We Met’…you must’ve read all about the amazing Shahid-Kareena chemistry, lovely storyline, good performances, great treatment…and all that..well if you have..let me tell you..all that is true.
It is realy a refreshing movie. I’ve actually kind of lost interest in simple romantics…well either I am becoming too cynical or they just tend to be all so boring and predictive.
But this one is really enjoyable and watchable. It is just that..a simple boy meets girl love story told in such a lovely way…it’s really nice. You must watch it!

And then, moving on from Cricket and Movies…there’s been TV and the endless Naach-Gaana competitions. I like them ok..! But, even I am getting confused now. Who is on which..what is happening..which day there is elimination …I get mixed up!
The Sa Re Ga Ma Pa season ended with Himesh’s shagird winning the title. I liked him…X factor was less..but he always did flawless rendition. And anyway, I have this soft corner for Himesh..so I was delighted!
What else…we people need to be forced to be quiet..else, we have ample opportunity to celebrate. Dusshera and now we are on the verge of Diwali. Well, I guess that’s how we are!! And what’s wrong with that..I say!!

Naacho..Gaao..Dhoom Machao!! And go win some Cricket too!!
Amen!
